RE: [APML] A soaring swan over NM

Thanks Stuart.  I've only had the 6x7 out twice and haven't had a chance to play with it much but the 105mm f/2.4 lens seems to be nicely focused with the focus ring turned all the way to infinity and the aperture stopped down to f/4.  One of these days I'll run a focus test with a Hartman mask and reference marks on the focus ring. 
 
Yea, VERY!

Sweet shot Dave! Do the medium format lenses (the shorter focal length ones) focus at infinity or beyond (i.e. are they easy to focus)?
 
As long as E200 lasts, medium format is a VERY affordable alternative to an STL11000 eh?

I've really enjoyed the recent photos taken from the dark skies of New Mexico and have another to contribute.  This is a medium format image of the Cygnus region taken from a high desert area about 40 miles north of Las Cruces.  This is a great area for imaging unless you're shooting near the southern horizon where you have to contend with the light domes of Las Cruces and El Paso.

Just follw the link from here: http://home.comcast.net/~dave.dockery/NewImages.htm

Comments and processing tips welcomed,

Dave
